Question Determine if the mean tuition of private colleges in California exceeds $\$35,000$ using a one-tailed $t$-test with $\alpha=0.05$. $H_0: \mu \leq \$35,000$ $H_a: \mu > \$35,000$

Studdy Solution
State the alternate hypothesis. The alternate hypothesis is the statement that we are trying to find evidence for. In this case, the alternate hypothesis is that the mean tuition and fees for private institutions in California is greater than $35,000.
$$H_a \mu > \$35,000$$Here, $\mu$ represents the population mean annual tuition and fees for private colleges in California.
